About the word design | UXPUB

Many people perceive the word design as something very fashionable and creative.

“I am a designer”. Sounds pretty.

Because of this, the designer is perceived by many as an artist, and interface design is a subspecies of contemporary art. This is fundamentally wrong.

Design is translated from English as design.

The correct and accurate name of the profession in Russian is designer.

There is no art or creativity here, this is purely logical and engineering work.

If the profession were called by a Russian name, there would be much fewer people willing to do it.

After all, a design engineer does not sound as fashionable and pretentious as a designer, do you agree?
